Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Substitute n with 6 because n=6

2. Then you simply solve both sides so (6-6)-(5-6) because n=6

3.so then you get the absolute value of 0 subtracted by the absolute values of -1

4. So because all absolute values change it to positive you get 0-1 instead of 0- - 1

5. So the final answer is -1

Sorry if this was confusing, I’m really bad at explaining. :)

2)$3.44

Step-by-step explanation:

4 cans and 3 loaves=11.67

8 cans and 1 loaf= 12.89.

Set up equation:

x=cans

y=loaves

$4x+3y=11.67\\8x+y=12.89$ This is the answer for question A.

Multiply eq1 by 2:

$8x+6y=23.34$

Subtract eq3 by eq2:

$5y=10.45\\y=2.09$

Substitute:

$8x+2.09=12.89\\8x=10.8\\x=1.35$

One can of soup and one loaf of bread=

$1.35+2.09 or 3.44$

So:

$$3.44$

Hope this helps :D Please hit the crown if u can !!

Nookie1986 [14]

$\text{Slope}=\frac{-1--6}{3-5}=\frac{5}{-2}$ $\begin{gathered} y-y_1=\frac{5}{-2}(x-x_1) \\ \\ y--6=\frac{5}{-2}(x-5) \\ \\ -2(y+6)=5(x-5) \\ -2y-12=5x-25 \\ 5x+2y=25-12 \\ 5x+2y=13 \end{gathered}$

The missing values are (-6, -9) ( The last option)

Explanation:

x= - 6 has already produced the value of y as 5, the only pair in the given option the make the given ordered pairs NOT to be a function is (-6, -9) since it will give the value of y to be - 9.
